Bank of America NA, et al.,

Defendants.

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff Derek Chabrowski’s Motion to Remand
Cause to State Court. (Doc. 8). The Court now rules on the Motion.
17
Defendants removed this case to this Court in a timely manner on the ground that
18
it contains issues of federal law under the Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act of 2009
19
and 12 U.S.C. § 5220; thus, Defendants claim federal question jurisdiction. (Doc. 1).
20
Defendants further claim supplemental jurisdiction over all other claims because they
21
relate to the federal claims that form part of the same case or controversy. (Id.). Plaintiff
22
argues that remand is appropriate on the ground that diversity jurisdiction does not exist
23
in this case. (Doc. 8 at 1).
24
Federal question jurisdiction exists in this case because the claims under the
25
Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act of 2009 and 12 U.S.C. § 5220 arise under federal
26
laws. See 28 U.S.C. § 1331 (“The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of all
27
civil actions arising under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States.”).
28
Further, this Court has supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims under
1
28 U.S.C. § 1367 because the other claims are part of the same case or controversy giving
2
rise to original jurisdiction. Because, subject matter jurisdiction exists in this case through
3
federal question jurisdiction and supplemental jurisdiction, diversity jurisdiction is not
4
necessary.
5
Accordingly,
6
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion to Remand Cause to State Court
7
8
(Doc. 8) is DENIED.
Dated this 20th day of July, 2017.
